Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) Allocations and Holdings
for all members from
January 01, 1988 to December 31, 1988

The SDR is an international reserve asset created by the IMF in 1969 to supplement
to existing reserve assets. An SDR allocation is a distribution of SDRs to members
by decision of the IMF. A "general" allocation requires a finding by the IMF that
there is a global need to additional liquidity. Members and prescribed holders may
use their SDR holdings to conduct transactions with the IMF.
